Really? That is interesting, I guess I'll give them a call and see it can't hurt. I've just been told by a couple people that I'm already too old :(

As an example of what I'm looking at, here is a local 141 school with the prices listed. To get the same ratings here, I'm looking at about $15000 less than the school in San Diego (of course the school in SD also includes an associates degree tied with it). In essence it looks like it will be...

I wish I had my PPL, I currently don't have anything. I wish 6 figs was enough to do that here, but the reality is in DC I make enough to live comfortably, but certainly not rolling in the money enough to purchase my own plane and fly around on my own dime.

No there is no sense of urgency there. My GI bill is good for 10 years, I can start at Coast Flight every 3 months, BUT there is a slight sense of urgency in that 1. I am 32 years old, even in an accelerated all in program like this one or ATP (which is even more accelerated) I'm probably...

It covers up to 10,000 a year, but that to me seems like it will be gone rather quickly with the cost of training. If i want to finish in 2 years it seems I'd still be out what...30,40k? I'm not sure that is realistic, I make good money, but not THAT good of money to be able to drop 10-20k on...

Gotcha, that makes more sense. Well this school is in San Diego (which is similar cost of living), I wish it was in DC because I would just be able to stay doing what I'm doing while going to school. I'm obviously going to have to find a job, but the 1125 should cover at least my rent in...

I suppose it would have helped if I posted a link to the program so people had a better idea of what I'm talking about, doh! http://iflycoast.com/airline-career-training-program/

So everyone seems to be in agreement that it's better for me to stay put and pay for training out of my own pocket than get it completely paid for by the GI Bill? I'm just curious as to why everyone thinks that. To me it seems like it would make sense if I had to take out loans to pay for...

Thanks all. In response to AggieMike88. So that's the thing, this program will be covered no student loans, plus I get $1125 a month living expenses (tax free) from the GI Bill. I certainly don't have a ton in savings but I feel like at the age I'm at I can't really afford to take the long...

Hmm not sure why my post disappeared. At any rate, I have considered that route but if I did that I'd be paying completely out of pocket, which I certainly can't afford since the GI Bill will only pay if the program is attached to a degree program as well. Here is a link to the program in...

Thanks for your reply! I have considered that, however the costs would all be out of pocket for me as the GI bill won't pay for flight training unless it's attached to a degree program (like Coast Flight is). While I make a decent amount, I'm still basically middle class in this area as I'm sure...

First off, I'm brand new here but have been a lurker for quite some time. It's nice to be "formally" a part of the community. This might be sort of long so I apologize but trying to get the best advice possible and in order to do that I think I need to briefly describe my background. I am...
